Biden did and Trump should. Just pointing out that such claims are hardly unique or limited to one side.

Steelers 2024 Offseason Thread

This is a good instance where we can use a Bidenism "don't compare me to the almighty, compare me to the alternative". Wilson and Fields have massive warts, but I think at least with Wilson, this is a guy you can win with. He's not going to be the reason you win, but in most games, he's not the reas...

Dodint's Thread of Pirates 23-24 Offseason Optimism

Also judging the rash of SP injuries going around right now, no team with any 2024 aspirations will be looking to trade a starter.

Miami being hard hit, which is good news for the Pirates who get them for a 4-game series in Miami to start the season.

Trump on the auto industry yesterday:

"Any Jewish person that votes for Democrats hates their religion. They hate everything about Israel, and they should be ashamed of themselves because Israel will be destroyed."
I'll have to see the context before I pass judgement.

Dodint's Thread of Pirates 23-24 Offseason Optimism

Davis' persona reminds me of Crosby. Just nothing going on in that brain except baseball. I listened to a podcast last week with McKenry on it, and he was giving his take on the Davis situation and provided some interesting tidbits about why he thinks he'll perform much better as a catcher. The dude...

Dodint's Thread of Pirates 23-24 Offseason Optimism

Yeah I don't expect it. I think the duo of German and Lauer are equal to Perez and Marco Gonzales. I feel better not having to wait until mid season for Skenes Jones (sooner) Brubaker Burrows (probably not) to upgrade the "rotation" Instead give last ditch efforts to Contreras and Falter (might be ...

Steelers 2024 Offseason Thread

I am pretty sure that Moore is passable at LT, but they might take a project at T in the draft and eventually move him to RT and Broderick to LT. I do think that Cole was the weak link, and having your weak link at center is the worst situation. I think that getting a league average performer in the...

Dodint's Thread of Pirates 23-24 Offseason Optimism

Anderson may get a spot in the rotation with how well he's been pitching. Have they announced that Jones is making the rotation and that RC goes to the bullpen? They announced Skenes was going to AAA a while ago. TL often mixes facts and opinion is hit posts ITT. I said I think RC is going to the b...

Dodint's Thread of Pirates 23-24 Offseason Optimism

Good to see he's healthy. I'm not going to say he'll be any good or not based on this spring but 7 homers tells me he's at least recovered and ready to roll which is a good thing
If he keeps his K% under 25%, he will be in the MVP conversation.

Also, 7 xbh this spring. All HR.

Dodint's Thread of Pirates 23-24 Offseason Optimism

I think Roansy has officially lost that battle for a rotation spot. He's likely getting stashed in the bullpen till he can prove he can throw strikes. Jared Jones will come north with the team, Skenes will be up in June. Pretty dumb for people to complain about Skenes. They will want to cap his inni...

so this is just everything that’s wrong with modern politics apparently in the speech he talked about falling behind other countries and how it would be a blood bath if he lost (in context, he means an economic one).

Lots to unpack there. For one, labeling Wilson a malcontent is unfair. I think the Seattle stuff would be like if the Steelers dumped roethlisberger in 2013. He came back to have his best years, but he was down and it was looking hopeless for the organization. The Denver era was just a **** show, an...

Hurts is a product of that eagles system, you can’t look at him as a lost opportunity for the Steelers. And again, Ben made it rather clear that he was not interested in mentoring his replacement. So that would have made drafting love impossible, not to mention that they already traded that pick. An...

That distance is basically the max on my gap wedge, if the wind is in your face I would struggle with the distance. I would probably need to see the gap wedge come up short before clubbing up to PW, then have to make sure I'm not being too tentative.

Dicaprio not getting a nominated for best actor is a travesty.

I saw that Holdovers and Maestro. I have no problem with Giamatti's nomination, he was great. Maestro was a joke and his performance was too much.

People were mad that Lily Gladstone didn't win. And she was definitely great. I've also heard some film snob people whining about Poor Things.

Sure, Poor Things was over the top in the setting, but the story was fun and the performances were all great.

The other thing that this does for me is put more pressure on Tomlin. This team is above .500 and it better play like one at the start of the season. I expect the playoffs now, so they better deliver. Absent a freak injury, I’d say playoffs are a given. It’s just whether they are just making the pl...
